OEE benchmark Vietnam 2026: manufacturing data, sector targets and downtime cost

The short answer: Manufacturing is 24.3% of GDP in Vietnam (2024). Typical OEE in the country's leading sectors runs 75–90%; the sector world-class targets are in the table below.

Official manufacturing statistics for Vietnam, the OEE ranges that apply to its leading sectors, a downtime-cost calculator preloaded with national labour and energy costs, and the incentives that can fund a monitoring project.

Leading sectors and the OEE ranges that apply

The first columns are Vietnam's own sector mix (National Statistics Office (NSO, ex-GSO), Ministry of Finance). The OEE columns are the oee-benchmark.org editorial ranges for that sector type: they are benchmarks for plants, not national statistics.

Editor's note

Vietnam is the fastest-growing manufacturing economy in this dataset (manufacturing value added up 10% in 2025, 24% of GDP), with the Samsung belt around Bắc Ninh and Thái Nguyên as the benchmark cluster. Decree 80/2021 co-funds digital tools for SMEs. No official robot density or hourly labour cost is published.

How to use this benchmark

Measure first. Log availability, performance and quality per line for four weeks before comparing with the sector ranges; a benchmark without your own baseline is a guess.
Compare within your sector, not with the national average. A packaging line at 72% may be world-class; a bottling line at 72% has room.
Price the gap. Use the calculator with your own labour cost and margin, then check the incentives table: several programmes fund the sensors and software that close it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good OEE in Vietnam?

There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Vietnam's leading sectors the typical range is 75–90% and the world-class targets are listed above. Most plants that start measuring sit near 60%.

Where do these figures come from?

Manufacturing weight, employment, labour cost, energy price and robot density come from official statistics (National Statistics Office (NSO, ex-GSO), Ministry of Finance, Eurostat, the World Bank and the IFR); every figure links to the page it was read from. The OEE ranges are oee-benchmark.org editorial benchmarks.

What is in the Vietnam benchmark pack?

An Excel workbook with the country profile and sources, the hub table, the sector OEE ranges, a downtime-cost calculator with the national defaults already filled in, and the incentives and events lists. It is free; we ask for a work email.
